Hair Extensions Can Be Eco-Friendly

Eco-conscious beauty starts with knowing where your extensions come from. Many hair extensions are made from human hair, but not all sources are equal. Ethically sourced hair, often referred to as “Remy hair,” is collected in a way that respects both the donor and the environment. At our salon, we work with trusted suppliers who prioritize ethical sourcing and sustainability, ensuring that the hair we use is traceable and responsibly obtained. Choosing Remy hair also means higher quality and longer-lasting extensions, which naturally reduces waste over time.

Another important consideration is the type of extensions you choose. Some methods, such as tape-ins or sew-ins, can be reused for several months with proper care. Reusability helps reduce the need for frequent replacements, which is not only easier on your wallet but also reduces the amount of discarded product that ends up in landfills. We take the time to educate our clients on how to properly maintain their extensions at home, so they get the most out of each application.

The salon environment itself also plays a role in sustainable hair care. At D’Ametri’s, we’ve taken steps to reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing single-use plastics, recycling packaging when possible, and using professional hair products that are cruelty-free and made with environmentally friendly ingredients. We believe that beautiful results shouldn’t come at the expense of the earth.

Hair extension care products can also be part of an eco-friendly routine. Sulfate-free shampoos, lightweight leave-in conditioners, and silicone-free serums not only help preserve the life of your extensions but are often gentler on the environment. We carefully select our retail products based on both performance and sustainability, so our clients can feel good about what they’re using every day.

We also encourage our clients to think of their hair extensions as part of a longer-term beauty plan, rather than a short-term style fix. When clients commit to regular maintenance and invest in high-quality hair, they end up using fewer resources over time. This intentional approach to beauty helps reduce waste and aligns with a more eco-conscious lifestyle.

There’s no denying that the beauty industry still has work to do when it comes to sustainability. But small, thoughtful changes—like choosing ethically sourced hair, reusing extensions, and selecting earth-friendly products—add up to a big impact. As a local salon in Broomfield, we’re proud to be part of mindful beauty practices.

So, can hair extensions be eco-friendly? Absolutely. It starts with asking the right questions, making smart choices, and partnering with a salon that shares your values. At D’Ametri’s, we’re here to help you look and feel your best—without compromising your commitment to the planet.
